This was forwarded by a friend. I have had to make some format changes and couldn’t help make a few comments of my own…
Here is our change from January 2009 to today!
SOME WILL APPRECIATE THIS AND SOME WILL NOT. HOWEVER, ALL OF IT IS TRUE.
After three years of Obama ….Here’s your change!
• Avg. Retail price/gallon gas in U.S.

Today: $3.44 (this was several weeks ago and the average price is over $4.00)
• Crude oil, European Brent (barrel)
2009: $43.48

It is great having billionaires who are first conservative, second rich, third not afraid to speak out, fourth not afraid of Obama, and Fifth not afraid to use their money/position to push back at liberals…especially the one that inhabits the White House. The Koch brothers are not out in public like liberal hypocrite Warren Buffet even though the left is desperately trying to make them a symbol of their success. Until I looked for a photograph of the Koch brothers I had never even seen their faces.
The Obama campaign recently sent out a fundraising letter using the Koch brothers as the foil;
No I am not planning to throw myself off of a tall building, but life as a conservative seems rather harsh and I keep looking at how easy it is for liberals with more than a little jealousy. Life for a liberal is quite simple…
…and tell me it’s raining!
Unemployment: If you listen to the White House and the mainstream media puppets you’ll think unemployment is trending down and at 8 percent as of February 2012. Too bad the numbers are cooked (FYI all administrations cook) and are quite misleading…okay not “misleading” but flat out lies. Gallup offers real unemployment numbers;
REAL UNEMPLOYMENT IS 19.0 PERCENT
If you want to compare the numbers the White House uses then Gallup determined that rate to be 9.0 percent;
I have no idea how old Yahoo is, nor do I care. This post started rather innocently as I often peek at the Yahoo headlines sometime during the day. Sometimes I even get an inspiration from one of the headlines as with Life Unlock on January 24th. I started paying attention to the headlines and found a trend with their home page…disturbing to me, but not surprising. I think this is a GREAT illustration of the liberal bias that the mainstream media and even many new media outlets adhere to.
Before I continue with sixteen “candles” of Yahoo bias here is a basic rundown of their position:
I was fascinated by these two side-by-side articles by Reuters News Service. The actually made it to page 3 and I doubt that Reuters wanted them to be printed beside one another.
Story one was about a poor company, LightSquared that developed a product that was going to provide a wireless broadband network all accross America. While that sounds great their “service” tended to interfere with all other GPS networks and satellites, even those used by our military. Still LightSquared fought the good fight and conviced the FCC to grant approval of the system. That’s when the firestorm started…actually no firestorm as you probably never heard of LightSquared (even though I included it in my top ten 2011 news stories – it was in No. 5). Stuff did happen as Congress (make that the Republicans) started getting involved and the FCC suddenly revoked their approval. The Reuters piece was all about the business and what their next step would be, perhaps bankruptcy! I thought this excerpt from the article was very interesting;
Continuing with the full court press to keep his foot in the door of separation of church and state, Obama-ites are polling out all the stops. Get it “polling” out all of the stops?
Obama, liberals, secularists, progressives, Democrats, and their ilk all love the battle started by Obama against the Catholic Church. His latest shot (I’m not sure that it was his first) was to try, through Obamacare, to FORCE the Catholic Church to provide free services for contraceptive, sterilization, and certain prescriptions (i.e. the morning after pill) to all of their employees. These services are directly contradictory to Catholic beliefs and teachings. Needless to say the Catholics balked, screamed, and made Obama “back off,” but he really didn’t. His response was to simply require the insurance companies provide the services. As if the extra costs associated with these services won’t be passed along for the Church to pay.
There is perhaps no better advertisement for an Ivy League education that this comment from a student of two such fine institutions;
“Steve, the math is the math. You can’t lower rates and raise revenue, unless you’re getting revenue from someplace else,”
A friend forwarded these comments from Thomas Sowell on our country, the “occupy” crowd, Obama, liberty…America!
“The current Occupy Wall Street movement is the best illustration to date of what President Barack Obama’s America looks like. It is an America where the lawless, unaccomplished, ignorant and incompetent rule. It is an America where those who have sacrificed nothing pillage and destroy the lives of those who have sacrificed greatly.”
“It is an America where history is rewritten to honor dictators, murderers and thieves. It is an America where violence, racism, hatred, class warfare and murder are all promoted as acceptable means of overturning the American civil society.”
As I was driving to work this morning I thought of perhaps one of the best (i.e. worst) examples of unconstitutional actions by our federal government;
Brief 6: Shortly after the new year began in 2012 President Obama signed the National Defense Authorization Act. Tucked into the bill is a provision that many believe greatly expands the ability of the federal government take you into custody and hold you indefinitely;
